the facilitation will support participants to communicate in productive and respectful
ways.

Total annual cost for marker/buoy replacements for the past twelve-month period were significantly lower than the cost
during the same timeftame in 2022 ($213,638.00). The increase in costs during the same timeframe in 2022 were a
result of routine maintenance needs that required the replacement of 26 regulatory buoys in May of 2023. These buoys
were funded in part by a $22,087.50 grant ftom the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Boating
Improvement Grants Program. Additionally,20 regulatory signs were damaged during Humicane Ian and replaced with
FEMA emergency disaster relief funds ($11,892.00)in March 2023.

A total of 140 vessels were removed in the past twelve-month period which was almost three times the number of
vessels removed (50 vessels) during the same timeframe in 2022 ($597,073.00). The removal cost of 2 commercial
barges ($69,000 and $340,000) and the cost associated with the emergency removal of a third, adnift vessel near Long
Key Bnidge ($98,000) during the month of November, and the removal of 4 commercial shrimp boats ($431,750.00)
and the technical removal of a 70' steel hull sailboat ($159,997.00) during the month of December contributed to the
69% higher removal costs in the past twelve-month period. One hundred and fifteen (115) of the 128 vessels were
grant-funded through the FWC Derelict Vessel Removal Grant Program which represents a cost savings of
$1,853,983.00 to the County (or 96% of total expenditures) in the past twelve-month period. These costs are included
in the table above.
Additionally,Florida Department of Emergency Management(FDEM)identified 43 derelict vessels in Monroe County
related to Hum*cane Ian. FDEM finished removing all 43 derelict vessels in June 2023. Due to the influx of migrant
landings in Monroe County, FDEM has also been able to remove 425 migrant vessels that have been identified in the
county waters since January 2023.
